The US Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that young children can get their hands and fingers caught in the oven's front opening, posing a burn hazard.
Easy Bake has reported 249 cases where kids' hands have gotten stuck and 77 reports of burns, one that required partial finger amputation to a 5 year old girl.
The Easy Bake Oven being recalled is the purple and pink plastic oven that looks like a kitchen range with four burners on top and has a front loading oven.
Model number 65805 and “Hasbro” are stamped into the plastic on the back of the oven.
The ovens were sold at Toys “R” Us, Wal-Mart, Target, KB Toys and other retailers nationwide from May 2006 through July 2007 for about $25.   
Parents should immediately take the recalled Easy-Bake Oven away from children, and call Easy-Bake for instructions on how to return the toy oven for a voucher towards the purchase of another Hasbro product.
For more information, call Easy-Bake at (800) 601-8418 anytime, or visit the firm’s Web site here.   You can also access the CPSC’s Web site here.
